On September 26, the Lakers will debut on the new season media day.

The reporters rushed to Los Angeles for interviews. The overall popularity of the Lakers is not comparable to that of the team. The better the Lakers, the worse the Clippers will be. After Chris Paul left, he almost fell to the point where no one cared about it.

Maybe Paul can't lead the Clippers to the Western Conference Finals, but what if there is no Paul? The Clippers may have to fight for the playoffs. Griffin is definitely not a qualified leader.

Five Lakers players took core makeup photos together, Guo Xu, Devin Booker, Durant, Horford, and Adams.

From this point of view, it can be seen that those players who want to join the Lakers with high salaries after Guo Xu left will definitely fail. This is the third season of Booker's career. Next summer, the team will talk to him about renewing the contract in advance, and it is impossible to let him go.

The Lakers' main gimmick is the last season of Guo Xu's legendary career.

In an interview, Guo Xu affirmed this again. "I will retire. Even if the Lakers may win four consecutive titles or five consecutive titles, I will not participate. I don't want to repeat what I have done, the future belongs to young people."

The reporter asked: "Which team do you think is the Lakers' biggest competitor this season?"

"The Warriors, Nets, Spurs, 76ers, Bucks, etc., all of these teams have the chance to beat us. I mean, winning the previous game in the regular season, there is probably no competition in the finals. Unless our team is injured, there is no one else, it is impossible to lose four games in a series." Guo Xu said confidently.

He is not bragging, he is already very low-key compared to his complete victory last season.

Other players also expressed their belief that the team will defend their title and establish the dynasty successfully. After a season of winning streak, they forgot the taste of losing and were full of confidence.

In the preseason, Lakers players showed their invincible strength and could easily win anyone. Guo Xu could still score a lot of points in the team after reducing his shots, and Durant could also drive his teammates with the ball.

The new Tyrek Evans performed better in the Lakers system than Wade last season. He played 31 minutes in the preseason, averaging 19.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game, shooting percentage of 47.2%, and three-point shooting percentage of 40%, looking like an All-Star.

Of course he is not an All-Star, and he plays well because he faces a low defense intensity. When he comes on the bench, he has the ball and can play with the ball. He is often the target of being released when he appears with Guo Xu and Durant.

Once air defense, most NBA players shoot very accurately.

Calderon and Van Vreett's two defenders performed well outside the three-point line, with their catch and shooting percentages exceeding 40%. When Guo Xu was resting, they played on the court and played on the double guards and could organize the offense.

Horford and Durant had a substitute lineup, and with the organized Evans and Calderon, the Lakers run very quickly and can play passes and cuts.

The Lakers won all 7 games in the preseason, ranking first in the official strength list.

Guo Xu didn't make much effort, averaged only 20 minutes per game, scoring 14.3 points and 7 assists. After the game, no media questioned his strength. Everyone knew that he was not serious and was just looking for feelings.

Espn announced the player rankings of this season, and Guo Xu is still ranked first. Everyone believes that as long as he becomes serious, he will be the MVP.

The Lakers' home opening match in the regular season are the Warriors. Adam Xiao Hua thinks this arrangement is a gimmick. Anyway, the Warriors have lost a lot of losses in the playoffs for two consecutive years, so it doesn't matter if they lose more in the regular season.

The Nets ranked second, who also won all seven preseason games. After Paul joined, the Nets' outside strength has improved significantly, with two pitchers on the wing, Garlinari and James can both pull out to shoot with the forward line.

It's not a big problem for the Nets to be weak inside, as long as the player can pick-and-roll and cut into the cake. Aaron Baynes was not a simple blue-collar worker when he appeared. After covering, he could occasionally catch mid-range shots and his shooting percentage was not low.

The Warriors ranked third. After Green left, Mirotic, who had a longer range came. Gobert could make up for the gap in Green's departure. The reason for the trade was because they overlapped the defensive end. Gobert's defense area was better, and Green's defense was more comprehensive.

The 76ers ranked fourth with 6 wins and 1 loss. Gallinari had little impact after leaving. Joe Ingles shot higher from the field last season. After a season of training, Jaylen Brown was about to get on the lead, and Gallinari must give up the starter.

The Spurs had a strong decline, with 3 wins and 4 losses in the preseason. After joining, Guy reduced his moves and focused more on the defensive end, and performed averagely.

Kawhi Leonard, the core of the Spurs, is still recovering from injury and has not played in the preseason. Recently, his teammate Ginobili said in an interview that Leonard has never completed training with the team and his return date is not yet determined.

After reading the news, Guo Xu realized that Leonard was going to be in trouble. Eighty times he would spend the whole season like a parallel world, and then get traded after falling out with the Spurs management.

In the parallel world, the Spurs sent Leonard to the Raptors, which is still a competitive team. Now the trading chips DeRozan is not in the Raptors. He just traded to the Pelicans by the Hornets. God knows where Leonard's next stop will be.

Before the opening game began, online fans discussed that they were optimistic about the Lakers' victory. As expected, the Lakers won 133 to 112, and the Warriors never led once from beginning to end.

Just like last season, Guo Xu broke through Curry again and again. The Warriors can still defend themselves in the positional battle. The counterattack is to watch Guo Xu's performance. Curry is like defending a black hole one-on-one.

Curry is not very efficient on the offensive end. The Lakers will double-team him and let the role players take action. He made 8 of 18 shots, 3 of 9 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

Guo Xu played for 34 minutes, made 12 of 18 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 34 points, 2 rebounds and 11 assists.

There was no practice during the holiday, and Guo Xu's shooting feel was indeed not as good as last season, but he would adjust and increase breakthroughs to score two points and passes. Six players in the Lakers team scored in double digits, while others did not score 20+.

Durant has one advantage. He is selfless and will not compete for the boss. Even when Guo Xu is in a bad state, he will control the number of shots, just to strive for high efficiency. Both him and Guo Xu can help each other to score hits, which is a major feature.

At the post-match press conference, the reporters asked the core teams of the two teams to evaluate each other and specifically mentioned Curry's age. After the end of this season, Curry, who had a baby face, was also 30 years old.

This successor is really sad. He will become a veteran in a few years, but he still can't compare with Guo Xu.

The reporter asked Guo Xu: "Your age is about the same as when Jordan retired for the second time, and his condition is better than him. How did you do it?"

"Practice Chinese Kung Fu health care, and exercises with some breathing and breathing are really effective and can delay aging. Megan and Alex also learned this from me. I think they will not need to be given botulinum toxin in the future, and hyaluronic acid will look younger." Guo Xu smiled.

He deliberately gave out some information because he was indeed aging very slowly. If he looked like a young man at the age of 50, he would definitely attract much attention as a public figure. At that time, he planned to push all of these to Chinese Kung Fu, and there are also health tips in Kung Fu.

The reporter asked: "How do you plan to spend the last season?"
